I microwave it for a few minutes (after poking holes in it so it doesn't

explode) & then cut it in half (across or lengthwise... whatever I feel

like... Just be careful, my mother sliced off the top of her thumb cutting

one when I was a kid... it's hard to cut)

I put it in a 9X13 baking dish & put the squash, cut side down, in a 400

degree oven for about 45-60 minutes. I must have read this online

somewhere. I've never had trouble with it being watery. It's sooo good with

a little smart balance spread & parmesean cheese...

Method 2 i used this one

I've never had a problem with it being watery either. I put about 1/4 cup of

ff chicken broth in a shallow baking dish, place the squash halves one at a

time face down, cover with saran and microwave for about 15 minutes. I

probably could fit them both in the microwave but the only glass dish I

have is too

small.

I just cut mine in half & stick it in a 400 oven cut side down in a 9 x 13 dish,

for about 45 mins to an hour... So good.

Okay I have never cooked one of these things but would like to try it.

I eat like any and every vege but hubby does not usually go for squash

so I just never bother. But if I can get him to eat this it would be

great for me! So anywhoo all the recipes in the files section just

say " cook with your favorite method " - so what methods can I use and

how do I do this? If anyone has an oven prep I would prefer that - I

only like to nuke what I have to.
